Via API, datasets can be created in an invalid state when it comes to license/terms

[pdurbin]

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?

Follow docs to create a dataset...

curl -H X-Dataverse-key:3e2b87bf-6652-47f1-b0bb-ddc0aa1a9106 -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/dataverses/root/datasets -H Content-type:application/json --upload-file dataset.json

... using this file: dataset.json

I created this JSON file with the following EasyDataverse code:

dataset.citation.title = "My Dataset"
dataset.citation.subject = ["Other"]
dataset.citation.add_author(name="Durbin, Philip")
dataset.citation.add_dataset_contact(name="Durbin, Philip", email="[email protected]")
dataset.citation.add_ds_description(value="My description.")

What happens?

The dataset is created in an invalid state when it comes to license/terms. See the screenshot below. It is set to "Custom Dataset Terms" but "Terms of Use" is empty.

What did you expect to happen?

The dataset should be assigned the default license, which is CC0 out of the box.

Which version of Dataverse are you using?

The latest in the develop branch: d70de2c
